As Low as Possible |
| As I roved out, Westport Bridge Street |
| Nearly twelve years old and my eyes were on my feet |
| I was bang in step to those post-showband ballads |
| And the hotel lobby promised Strawberry Beds and Sonny |
| As a lowly cipher then, that seemed encrypted: and I drifted |
| Off on a song |
| Sent from the Turkish winter, three cassettes for a tenner |
| Played as low as possible |
| Then on a white Cretan terrace near the sun |
| The breaks were fierce and the children always won |
| The staff took their beatings well and stuck to singing |
| Is She Really Going Out With Him? |
| Joe Jackson, Prefab Sprout and Tears for Fears: painted-on ears |
| Offered a song |
| Nothing I sought or wanted, music had been invented |
| Played as low as possible |
| If there’s a moment, one moment of importance |
| And that’s uncertain as life on other planets |
| Then it’s the morning you landed in our garage |
| Holding a camera, some distant scientist tracking your moves |
| You presented me, the native, with a clock around which to rock |
| Oh, and a song |
| Nothing I sought or wanted, music was re-invented |
| Played as low as |
| Played as low as |
